What Causes Right-sided Abdominal Pain And Flatulence?
My husband woke up with sharp pains on the right side of his abdomen, it comes and goes in waves, more painful when he is standing up, better when sitting, I gave him 2 glasses of luke warm water with half a teaspoon of bi-carb in each to help neutralise flatulence, it has eased off somewhat, however the pain is still there, is it serious?

Hi
I have gone through your complaints.severe right sided pain of intermittent type called colic pain due to so many causes.its imp to evaluate for renal calculi,bile duct calculi and sometimes even intestinal colic.best and simple non invasive test, abdomminal ultrasound to find out the cause. For flatulence , advised to take green leafy vegetables,fruits and encourage plenty of fluid.avoid bread and biscuits.
Thank you
